Author: Godfrey Thring Appears in 329 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Saviour, blessèd Saviour,
Listen while we sing,
Hearts and voices raising
Praises to our King.
All we have we offer,
All we hope to be,
Body, soul and spirit,
All we yield to Thee.
2 Nearer, ever nearer,
Christ, we draw to Thee,
Deep in adoration,
Bending low the knee;
Thou for our redemption
Cam'st on earth to die;
Thou, that we might follow,
Hast gone up on high.
3 Great and ever greater,
Are Thy mercies here;
True and everlasting
Are the glories there,
Where no pain or sorrow,
Toil or care is known,
Where the angel legions
Circle round Thy throne.
4 Onward, ever onward,
Journeying o'er the road
Worn by saints before us,
Journeying on to God,
Leaving all behind us,
May we hasten on,
Backward never looking
Till the prize is won.
Amen. Topics: Hymns for Children Used With Tune: FIDES
Saviour, Blessèd Saviour
